TAPRegExt-1.0 Proposed Recommendation: TCG Review

This document serves as the RFC center for the Proposed Recommendation entitled "TAPRegExt: a VOResource Schema Extension for Describing TAP Services, Version 1.0".

The latest version of TAPRegExt:

• http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/TAPRegExt/

Reference Interoperable Implementations

• TOPCAT (client)
• GAVO data center and the underlying software DaCHS software (server)
• CADC TAP service: the VOSI-capabilities resource includes extended metadata defined in TAPRegExt-1.0

Implementations Validators

Any schema validator will do for syntactic validation. STILTS' taplint task does a partial semantic validation.

The OpenCADC TAP library contains a TAPRegExtParser that performs full schema validation on VOSI-capabilities documents with TAPRegExt extended metadata.

Oops -- that was an editorial oversight. The obsolete ivo-ids are gone from current SVN (r1648). -- MarkusDemleitner - 12 Mar 2012

Comments from TCG member during the TCG Review Period: 16 March 2012 - 14 April 2012

WG chairs or vice chairs must read the Document, provide comments if any and formally indicate if they approve or not the Standard.

IG chairs or vice chairs are also encouraged to do the same, althought their inputs are not compulsory.

TCG Chair & Vice Chair (Christophe Arviset, Séverin Gaudet)

A minor update should be made to the Architecture Diagram as VOSI has now been approved as a REC. I'll send the updated figure to the author.

I approve the document. -- ChristopheArviset - 20 Mar 2012

Applications Working Group (Mark Taylor, Enrique Solano)

There is a small number of errors:

• All the schema snippets in the text lack the xs: prefix on close tags (e.g. <xs:sequence>...</sequence> )
• The upload example in Sec 2.5 says "...retrieving from ftp and http URLs..." but the example declaration lists http and inline upload types.
• "Pricscilla" should read "Priscilla" in the [XSD] entry in the bibliography.

There are also a couple of issues related to VOTable:

1. Sec 2.4 references the "yet-to-be-defined BINARY2 VOTable element"
2. The example in Appendix B uses the parameterised MIME type application/x-votable+xml;encoding=tabledata . The definition of the "encoding" parameter for the VOTable MIME type has been discussed, but is not currently part of any standard.

Following consideration of these points, I'm happy to recommend acceptance of this carefully written document. -- MarkTaylor - 26 Mar 2012
